when things are in place, whether Mejia can play some 3B/C, Myers can play some 3B/LF, this lineup looks drastically different next year, having someone like Renfroe/Franchy hitting 7th deepens the lineup, if Hedges can hit at all

without even making moves outside the organization that is pretty solid

Mejia plays 60 games at C, 60 at 3B, DH all avail
Myers plays 100 games in LF 30 games at 3B, DH some
Villanueva plays 3B against all lefties
Renfroe, Franchy and Margot rotate between CF/RF/LF when Myers is at 3B. Ideally you only play Myers at 3B when at strong left handed lineup is against us

not seeing it, not only does he not look like a RB, he doesn't look like a C, looks like a 2B/SS to me, not at all what I expected at first look

He’s got a thick lower body and a bit of a small torso. Catcher height is overrated. Tall catchers can have a hard time with framing anyway. Being under 6 feet is no big deal. As long as he has the lower body strength for the position, he’s fine.

I think this plays out pretty well

This is what I am saying... we don't need to make a series of drastic moves in the offseason... it is time to see if the youth will start baring fruit. My only real concern with this plan has to do with 3B... It assumes that both Myers and Mejia can actually play the position... Mejia has played a single game at that position over his entire minor league career... and Myers has played 15 total years ago in the minors. I am a bit more worried about Mejia at this point because he will be learning to hit ML pitching and shuffling between C/3B/OF... that would be tough. But his bat needs to be in the lineup... and I think if you add in the typical injury rate at the various positions... he will get his ABs. Two things are for sure regarding your suggested lineup though:

1) It would be a more potent lineup
2) I would want to watch every inning... no matter where we were in the batting order... a lot of fun to watch.

Just keep Myers in LF consistently and pick up a veteran supersub to play 3B for those 30 games.
